Kristian Butler Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 A lovely condition Arri ST-B 16mm camera kit with 2 lenses, 400ft magazines, two motors, matte box and brand new battery and charger. Picture This is a late model Arri ST with the brighter, better viewfinder. The camera has the legendary Arri pin register film movement, so that you can be sure that film registration while shooting is rock steady. The camera body has two Arri standard lens ports and one Arri bayonet lens port, so it is compatible with later generation lenses. All items have been fully serviced and tested. The camera is running smoothly with both motors and the magazines are running perfectly. The 25fps fixed speed motor has been checked against a strobe and it is bang on. The lenses are clean and there are no scratches, mould or fungus on the glass. The full kit is as follows. 1 x Arriflex ST-B 16mm camera body 1x 12-120mm T2 Zoom Lens (in perfect condition nothing on the glass) 1x 17mm T2 Prime Lens (in great condition nothing on the glass) 2x 400ft Mags + 1x Arri Jacket 1 x Magazine torque motor 1 x Transistorised 25fps fixed speed motor 2x New Batteries + Charger Mains Adaptor Matte Box (old school bellows) 1 x Rubber eyecup 3 x Front lens caps Cores, bobbins and spool as necessary Instructions from 2 different archives 600ft Kodak B+W Film (from storage in fridge) Kodak Grey Card (worth £48) 1x Flight Cases (to put it all in) Overall the kit is in great condition. The camera itself is cosmetically nice and clean. The lenses are also in great condition, the focus and iris movements are smooth and accurate. There are no holes or pinpricks in the bellows matte box. The viewfinder is bright and clear and shows 16mm markings with TV safe and crosshair in the centre. my first test reel 10min short shot on the camera surf short, partly shot on the camera £900 UK only Local Pick-up/Buyer Arranged Courier (http://www.interparcel.com/) only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Anderson Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Not trying to be an el jerko but that's super steep. I sold my arri package ready to shoot very similar to yours 6 months ago for $800 usd. and it sat on the market for months....literally months. 16mm especially std 16 prices are dead in the water. Here's one in LA for $500 usd or $300GBP. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/pho/2276259510.html Just sayin. food for thought. Edit- Killer surf video man! You shoot the 8mm with a Eumig?

Kirk Anderson Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Cheers mate! really needed that rite now. Like I said man, I'm not trying to be a jerk. This isn't new news. I didn't blow your cover on a cinematography forum that watches prices on cameras like a hawk. If you actually want to sell something be realistic.

kevin jackman Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I did offer to buy the 17mm prime but was offered it at a crazy price. if anybody is wanting this package let me know, Id be interested in the prime only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Isn't it bad form to queer someone's pitch on a professional forum? Sure, there's always a lower price somewhere, but pointing it out in a vendor's forum, where people are trying to sell and where the pointer-out might want to do the same someday, just isn't helpful.
